Default HELP....IM HAVING ISSUES and luck is not on my side!

so i have a question for those of you with wheels....which is all
anyway...so i got my spacers in and went to have them put on and my stock studs poke through the spacers and now block my wheel from being flush with the spacer (hope that makes since) what should i do, i wanna just trim my stock stud so it sits flush? i dont know what to do?

i wasnt sure if it made since...everything bolts on...after i get the spacer on and go to put my wheel on it his the stock studs so then it leaves a gap and the wheel wont sit flush, the stock studs poke out of the spacer...they are longer then the width of the spacer. does that make more sense?

itsdark and i took everything off im not making since huh? you now how you put spacers on and you bolt them on like you would a wheel?...well some of the stock stud sticks out so then when i go and put on my wheel....the stud that are stock on my car are too long so they are keeping my wheel from sitting flush, it goes on, there is just a gap betweent he wheel and the spacer

im assuming your spacers have the extra studs on it. if your rims dont have a "space" for your stock studs poking through you need either a different set of spacers without the studs on them that come with replacement wheel studs (these are a pain in the ___ to change) or get a set of basic hub spacers that dont require any bolting or stud changing

what it sounds like is that the factory studs stick out past the spacer which doesn't allow the rim to sit flush to the spacer. I have the same problem when I run my camber plate I have to run a 20mm spacer with a 3mm spacer over it so I can run my -8 camber plates and it allows my wheels to sit flush to the hub.
